Installation & Operation Manual
10 Operating information
Sequence of operation
1.
Upon a call for heat, the control turns on the appropriate pumps (system and boiler pumps for a space heating call,
HW pump relay output for a HW call).
2.
The control confirms that the low water cutoff and flow switch (optional) contacts are closed.
3.
The control starts the blower and closes the louver contacts to begin the Pre-Purge cycle.
4.
The control confirms that the blower comes up to the desired speed, the flap valve opens, and the air pressure switch,
gas pressure switch (optional), louver proving switch (optional), and blocked drain switch contacts close.
5.
Once the Pre-Purge cycle is complete, the control lowers the blower speed, initiates sparking of the ignition electrode,
and opens the gas valve.
6.
After a short wait, the control stops sparking and checks for the presence of flame current through the spark and flame
sense electrodes.
7.
If the control does not detect flame current, the control will lockout indefinitely, until the RESET button on the touch
screen LCD is pressed.
8.
If the control detects flame current, the control will hold the blower speed constant for a few seconds to allow the
flame to stabilize, then begin modulating the firing rate in order to maintain the controlling sensor to the desired set
point temperature.
9.
If the current call for heat is for space heating and a HW call for heat becomes active, the control will turn on the HW
pump relay output, then turn off the boiler pumps. It will then modulate the blower speed in order to maintain the
outlet temperature to the desired HW outlet set point temperature.
10.
If the first module in the boiler is unable to maintain the desired set point temperature, the second module in the
boiler will be started, using much of the same sequences as described above. Once both modules are firing, the
controls will work in synchronization to maintain the desired set point temperature. If the heat load should decrease
sufficiently, the second module will be shut down, much like the sequences described below.
11.
Once both the space heating and HW calls for heat are satisified, the control will turn off the gas valve and begin the
Post-Purge cycle. Any pumps that are running will begin their respective Pump Delay cycles.
12.
At the end of the Post-Purge cycle, the louver contacts will open.
13.
The control verifies that the blower stops running and the flap valve closes.
14.
At the end of the Pump Delay cycle(s), the pump(s) will be turned off.
Note: This unit is equipped with two (2) independent, but synchronized combustion systems. The primary (top) combustion
system will fire first. If the demand cannot be met by one (1) combustion system the same sequence of operation will be followed
to bring the secondary combustion system online.
